Pete, thanks for the pictures , do you remember around of what flying weight all of she got? thanks.

[PeteJ]

Flying weights for richardsonii females are generally 200-220 and even higher by mid-winter for some of them. It is not uncommon to trap some that are in the 230 range or better.

I know you said trained, but I thought I would throw in a wild Jack just for fun.
